Envato’s 3rd Birthday Bash, Day 2 – Two New Plus Tutorials!
Aug 19th in News by Sean Hodge
As part of the 2nd day of Envato's Birthday Bash celebrations we are offering not one but two fantastic Plus tutorials. If you want to take your photo manipulation work to the next level while playing with fire, or create stunning typographic artworks with a glossy 3D-look, these tutorials will impress you.
Not a Plus member? There's no better time to join with the chance to win a new 20" iMac if you sign up to Plus before midnight the 21st of August (Australian Eastern Standard Time). Become a Plus member!
Hi All! I recently moved to the outskirts of Orlando, Florida. I'm the editor of Psdtuts+ and Vectortuts+. Also, visit my blog AiBURN where I feature some of my creative work and ideas. Or follow me on Twitter: @seanHodge.
Tutorial #1: How to Create a Striking Typographic Illustration
Rather than fueling the debate of which is better, we're going to use the power of 3D, raster and vector in this almost obsessive typographic treatment. This Plus tutorial relies on the stellar combination of C4D, Illustrator and Photoshop and touches on aspects of 3D Modeling, vector integration, brush work and photo manipulation. This is all coordinated to create a final illustrated typography design.

Tutorial #2: How to Create a Fallen Angel on Fire Photo Manipulation
The idea for this tutorial is to create a fantasy photo manipulation, while explaining how to create realistic fire using some of Photoshop's best tricks. We'll also paint hair in a few easy steps and of course learn how to use filters, adjustment layers and masks. Let's go!

I’ve been a plus member for like 4 months now, but I only really get to use the Net tuts… I can’t do half of the plus tuts from PSD tuts or Vector tuts because they also use like C4D and stuff… which I don’t have.

( )Daniel August 20th
Both very nice and useful tutorials, there’s no C4D source of the first one though, even if it says it is.
( )Diego SA August 20th
Nice! Perfect tutorials for the birthday, with a great quality!
( )Too bad it’s plus…
Mouss August 20th
I love the first tutorial, a nice combination of C4D and psd. The lack of a C4D source on the tutorial is a small downside. Overall plus is so worth it!
( )Jonas August 21st
Too bad my “glass” material doesn’t come out as glass att all…. Any ideas as to why?
( )Great tuts anyways!
